Unrelated to growing, but have you ever been deployed? Finding a correlation lately between overseas vaccinations and people having "issues". Just had prostatitis myself and that's not even supposed to be a concern for me for another 20 years.

Yes I was. 2004-2005 OIF 2-2 I think it was. Operation Phantom Fury is my claim to fame, providing direct on-site engineer support to 3rd Bn 1st Marines at the tip of the spear.

How’d you go about training this thing? How many time did you top? And how many nodes until you made the first topping?

I did a mainline on all of them, cutting at node 3 and stripping everything below. I let them grow out to 8 main branches on each side keeping them tied down along the way. I only topped the two main ends of each of them. I kept some of the laterals that grew on each main. As they grew longer, around veg week 6, I built the scrog in and started to direct each branch and lateral to areas away from each other, crisscrossing as necessary to keep them all the same height and trying to fill as many of the scrog squares as I can.

This is how I have my tote grow rigged to go:

Can see the way I cut the holes in for a SoG grow. You don't need that unless you're doing multiple small plants in one grow zone.

Here you can see I cut my hole right in the middle of the 5-gallon lid for just the one plant. That's a 10ml syringe btw.

Why would or wouldn’t I just run 3 or so Banana Hammock in one tote? I’m not opposed. Or for it even. Just wondering.

Can someone please help me set this tub up for seedlings before I put one in there? I have hydroguard and mammoth P and a couple rooting samples but unsure if I need to use any of that now.

Getting ready to rig up my air line for my tub. I have a couple options for stones. I really previously liked the 6-8 “small” air stones with many splitters but am unsure if this is efficient.

This question is important. My pump is 1100 GPH. Running one tub one nozzle open..... rolls harder than a jet spa. Should I run two lines to the tub with two open nozzles. Or just one with a splitter for my airdtones? Thanks.

Hydroguard or gff any water you put in there...

Airstone question is gonna be your first contribution to my knowkedge pool; you’re on your own...keep in mind the purposes (to at least in early stage keep your net pot moist; but primarily, get as much oxygen/bubbling in there as possible...

Keeping temp 65-70 will be good temp for roots, and will hold plenty of oxygen.

is way more concentrated and cheaper than hydroguard. I start out with 1 ml per gallon (get yourselves some 20ml industrial syringes for pH adjustments, nutes, hydtoguard/gff), then add a ml everytime i add water. Love it better than hydroguard.]

Mainlines where it’s at huh. Did it once with a tiny Mephisto autoflower.

It was cute. The idea and point worked VERY well. Just the yield wasn’t amazing. Bet it was way more than had I not though.

08-09. First Excalibur round in combat is my claim to fame lol.

Lots of guys with intestinal, nerve, and migraine issues. The rhinos (ied jammers) are also a TETRA project, so the frequencies used were not the greatest for human beings to be around lol.

The thought of having anything large or heavy makes me smile. Even if it’s just my tub. I’ll start working out if that’s wha it really takes to grow the monster I’ve long dreamed about.

Size comes with practice and the application of science vs desire. Trying to stick with vpd is good, but keeping your roots healthy and your plant healthy is key. No funky roots is #1. Be patient is rule #2. The first time home grown watched me defol a plant I thought he was gonna try to strap me to the bed for fear I was killing the plant. OG defols the same. You'll learn. Just watch and breathe and listen :) you in Da Gud Place now lolol
